The influence of increasing cadmium doses (10-20-30 mg per kg of substrate) on its uptake, distribution and accumulation in different plant organs of chamomile (Chamomilla recutita, cv. Goral) was studied in a laboratory pot experiment. Results showed the uptake of mobile cadmium forms and their translocation from root to vegetative parts of the plant. The natural metal content in the soil is itself enough to increase the risk of contamination of flos chamomillae above permitted standards. Extreme doses caused no visible symptoms of damage to the plants and no lowering of biomass production
